Molecular nanocarbons containing heptagonal rings have attracted increasing interest due
to their dynamic behavior, electronic properties, aromaticity, and solid‐state packing …

Irradiating solids with energetic particles is usually thought to introduce disorder, normally
an undesirable phenomenon. But recent experiments on electron or ion irradiation of …

A common misconception is that the irradiation of solids with energetic electrons and ions
has exclusively detrimental effects on the properties of target materials. In addition to the …

By combining ab initio time-dependent density functional calculations for electrons with
molecular dynamics simulations for ions in real time, we investigate the microscopic …

The possibility of effective control of the wetting properties of a nanostructured surface
consisting of arrays of amorphous carbon nanoparticles capped on carbon nanotubes using …

Single-wall and multiwall carbon nanotubes at high temperature are irradiated with the
focused electron beam in an electron microscope. Nanotubes can be tailored with …

Graphite and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) irradiated by gamma-rays were
studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The …

Ion beam irradiation is a potential tool for phase formation and material modification as a
non-equilibrium technique. Localized rise in temperature and ultra fast (∼ 10− 12 s) …

Since their discovery in 1991, 1 carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been envisaged to be the
building blocks of a variety of nanoscale devices and materials. For instance, due to their …

In this experimental work, the comparative study of structural defects in gamma-irradiated
carbon nanostructured materials (CNMs) including Graphene Nanoplate (GNP), Graphene …
